Poster Session Abstracts:

As of April 25, we are unable to accept additional posters - sorry!

HSCI is pleased to announce two special opportunities for poster presenters (at the trainee level) at this year's Retreat.

1. ORAL PRESENTATION AND AWARD OPPORTUNITY!
The Faculty Co-chairs will select 4 abstracts from those submitted by Friday, April 6th, to deliver oral presentations at the Retreat. This will give the co-chairs time to review the abstracts, and selected authors, the time to prepare an oral presentation. Three presenters will receive $500.00* each. The top presentation, as selected by the co-chairs and audience electronic polling, will receive $1000.00*.      *Winners must meet eligibility criteria for award payments by Harvard University.

2. CASH PRIZES FOR GENERAL POSTER SESSION!
Cash awards (total of 3 at $250.00 each) will be given this year to the top three posters, independent of the above-mentioned opportunity, as selected by a committee of HSCI faculty. Review will take place during the afternoon poster session.

Abstracts must be received by FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2018, in order to be included in the program brochure. The presenting author MUST register for the event, and he/she must be available to present the poster during the mid-afternoon poster session.
